Right Midfielder, Antonio Valencia

Against Manchester City, Valencia did play, but he came on as a sub with a mere 13 minutes to spare, which did not give him the opportunity to make any real impact on the game.

His absence for most of the game was greatly felt, as they lacked his speed in stopping players such as Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure on the wings. Nani and Ashley Young both played poorly, especially Young, who had numerous mistaken corners and free kicks.

With one of the year's biggest games at hand, Valencia's speed, skill and automatic effort is needed to get the three points.

Left Midfielder, Nani

Quite frankly, Nani hasn't proved much of himself recently, rather Ashley Young has disproved his talent and been extremely poor.

Nani has been inconsistent this year, and for most of the campaign has been stuck behind Young and Valencia, getting glimpses of the starting XI but never cementing his place.

However, with Young's recent diving antics, and poor set piece delivery and marking vs. City, Nani has become the more attractive option, looking to show us the great player we know he can be (at times).
